Dusty roads and keeping the car clean

[InstaDirty]

I have to drive on a short section of dirt road to my home. I can wash my car but just one slow trip down the road puts a nice coating if red clay dust on the wheels and rear. What's the best way to deal with all the dust? I tried a feather duster, but the dust seems to be statically attached. Compressed air doesn't get it all either.

I've seen things like the California Duster and wonder if they are worth a try.

I was reading on Nanoskin shock instant lub sealant and it says this:

"It creates a high-gloss polymer barrier that dissipates static so your vehicle stays cleaner, longer. Regular application will extend your existing paint protection so you don’t have to wax as often."

I have not used this myself, but perhaps someone who has can give you more input on it or a similar product.

I do hope to see someone with experience with that chime in. Thanks for the suggestion.

According to Meguiar's there is no sealant that repels dust.. but I asked that question about a yr ago.

Pave the road.

Not trying to be funny but that the only option... Dust is undefeatable!!

Unfortunately static will continue to attract the dust. Polymer sealants will be better than waxes since waxes tend to have natural oils in them. But I find the static from polymer sealants almost as bad. Other than for improving the road I don't think you will have many options.

Sad to hear. Guess I'll give the California Duster a try. The road is not mine to pave. Wish it was. Maybe if oil prices go back up, the county will have funds to pave more roads.

Blast it off and walk away

Ya, I can do that but next time I drive away from home, a new layer of dust is there. Need a button on the dash I can push to reverse polarity of my skin to shed the dust. :)

I'm in same boat as you are in. Unlike you, I live in a dusty and polluted city and car gets covered in layer of dust very very easily. In past I have used collinite 845 wax, but after a while, it sort of attract dust. FinishKare 2180 Ultra Polymer Sealant is what I like. After application, it leave behind a very 'dry' and smooth surface. Dust doesn't get attached to surface easily. Use 2180 and wash with pressure sprayer and it should work for you.
